The cafeteria ceiling in my freshman dorm had that recessed concrete, along with narrow windows, a dome central ceiling and it was round in shape....made us wonder if Darth Vader gave the decorating advice....looked like something right off of a DeathStar.

it gives an optical illusion effect with all those squares around it, almost looks like its recessed into the cieling. Great prespective motts, really cool shot!

Imagine for a moment or for an eternity, staring at that clock as your life ticks away.

Makes me wonder, what year was it when this clocked stopped at 9:42 and 31 seconds? (a.m or p.m)???

Sort of like, how little time we all have in the context of the big picture.

Weasel, not sure how to deal with a whole mess of forum. I loved that whole bedeviled place and it holds so many memories in my life. I was an itegral part of it all and to this day it predominates many of my dreams. It's haunting but not unpleasant. Faces and places go from my life of dream time to my life in real time. Sometimes it's difficult to discern what important and what fluff. It's a wonderful website and gives me an outlet for expression. Guidness, probably.

In dreams I float through these lybrynthian tunnels, these empty corridors, wards and I find that the lost souls travel with me as I contantly wander this place. I am a part of the lost souls and they are a part of me. Haunted, indeed.

No matter how I look at it that clock it just is not the right place for it to be. The clock hanging from the center of the cieling of gives a person the feeling of industrialness.

There were clocks hanging from the ceiling in my school, and I smacked the a couple of times while walking down the halls

I went to middle school near a Naval Air Station and the school had been built with recesses similar to those. They were to absorb sound from the sonic boom of jets.

Marvelous. There's no greater find in an abandoned place in my opinion than a clock forever stopped...
